Centrosome aberrations: cause or consequence of cancer progression?

EA Nigg - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2002 - nature.com
Many human tumours show centrosome aberrations, indicating an underlying deregulation
of centrosome structure, duplication or segregation. Centrosomes organize microtubule …

Asymmetric molecular architecture of the human γ-tubulin ring complex

M Wieczorek, L Urnavicius, SC Ti, KR Molloy, BT Chait… - Cell, 2020 - cell.com
The γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) is an essential regulator of centrosomal and
acentrosomal microtubule formation, yet its structure is not known. Here, we present a cryo …

Microtubule assembly nucleated by isolated centrosomes

T Mitchison, M Kirschner - Nature, 1984 - nature.com
Microtubules are involved in the morphogenesis of most cells and are the structural basis of
the mitotic spindle. We report here that purified centrosomes nucleate the assembly of …

Actomyosin-based retrograde flow of microtubules in the lamella of migrating epithelial cells influences microtubule dynamic instability and turnover and is associated …

CM Waterman-Storer, ED Salmon - The Journal of cell biology, 1997 - rupress.org
We have discovered several novel features exhibited by microtubules (MTs) in migrating
newt lung epithelial cells by time-lapse imaging of fluorescently labeled, microinjected …

Taxol: an antimitotic agent with a new mechanism of action

JJ Manfredi, SB Horwitz - Pharmacology & therapeutics, 1984 - Elsevier
Much of what is currently known concerning microtubule biochemistry and physiology has

Managing the centrosome numbers game: from chaos to stability in cancer cell division

BR Brinkley - Trends in cell biology, 2001 - cell.com
Aneuploid tumor cells can arise through multipolar mitosis caused by supernumerary
centrosomes. Multipolar spindles, however, are antagonistic to cell viability. Thus, most cells …

The sudden recruitment of γ-tubulin to the centrosome at the onset of mitosis and its dynamic exchange throughout the cell cycle, do not require microtubules

A Khodjakov, CL Rieder - The Journal of cell biology, 1999 - rupress.org
γ-Tubulin is a centrosomal component involved in microtubule nucleation. To determine how
this molecule behaves during the cell cycle, we have established several vertebrate somatic …
